@A2Dreamer this one's for you...
Edit : This is intended to raise a smile. Something that is sorely needed at the moment.

1 x Pro Boost ECU in stock £270 plus £3.65 postage. No exchange necessary
Steve,
Would be interested in purchasing this unit if it is still available.
Thanks, Graham
Unless things improve with customs, I won’t be ordering another batch. The complications involved are just not worth it I’m sorry.Steve,
After dithering for ages I've decided to go the ProBoost route rather than a Spares or repair sale of my car. So my question is.. will there be another batch ordered and what's the likely time scale.
Thanks
Norman
Are the coil packs original (check the date code on each one)? If so replace them. My FSI was a bit hesitant off the market when I bought it, new Bosch could packs and NGK plugs sorted it.
Do you run on Super Unleaded (98 Octane minimum)?
A good (ie VCDS error free) FSI is never sluggish...

Sounds like a well cared for A2.Coil packs were replaced about 4 or so years ago by the previous owner (that was done by A2 Cars), spark plugs were replaced recently by WOM, though I don’t know if they used NGK, they do know A2s though.
We only use Shell vPower
I assume it’s error free following the recent work carried out, but I have no scanner to check.
I am running a PB ecu in my fsi, and it was a straight swap with the original, just plug n play.I know this kind of offtopic but I bought a random FSI ECU and it was send straight to Proboost as my FSI was my main transport at that time. It was programmed for E85 but the IMMO was not lifted so my car runs about 2 secs and IMMO light goes on.
Proboost answers my emails very very slowly so what are my options, can I lift some chip from my original ECU to new one?
Buy some OBD gadget to bypass IMMO? I don't know if they work but I found them cheaper than shipping my ECU to Germany.
What kind of programming tools is needed to pair the new ECU to my car?
I have understood that IMMO of ECU from Proboost is plug and play, am I wrong and should do some adaptation with VCDS?
